In an instant, he understood!

 "The boys' test is finished."

 Kazuma Sato took the book back from Hikigaya's hand, barely suppressing his secret joy; only the final step remained.

 He kicked the [Replica Book of Heroic Spirits] away and spoke to Makise Kurisu, Misaka Mikoto, and the others:

 "Here, you girls can take the test."

 "Wait a moment!!!"

 Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly grabbed his wrist, like a righteous enforcer descending from the sky!

 "?!"

 Sato Kazuma sensed something was wrong and tried to hand the book over.

 However, his anxious demeanor, like a criminal caught in the act, drew everyone's attention.

 Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei pinched their chins, seemingly realizing something.

 It seems they missed something.

 "call……"

 Kazuma Sato took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and spoke to Hachiman Hikigaya:

 "Do you also have a character you'd like to try? Why don't you wait until Makise and Misaka finish testing first?"

 Misaka Mikoto had an indifferent attitude:

 "We're not in a hurry."

 Kazuma Sato blinked and looked at Hachiman Hikigaya:

 "Then you can use it first?"

 Hachiman Hikigaya's eyes shone brightly, incredibly sharp:

 "Kazuma, I admit your methods are very clever. If I didn't know you well enough, we would all have been kept in the dark."

 Kazuma Sato forced himself to remain calm.

 "What...what are you saying? I haven't hidden anything that would be detrimental to everyone."

 That's not what I meant.

 Hachiman Hikigaya opened his mouth and dropped a bombshell prediction:

 "Kazuma, the first user of the [Replica Boundary Recording Tape] wasn't Ms. Kato Megumi, but you, right?"

 "Um?!"

 Kohei Imamura and Iori Kitahara exchanged glances and instantly understood the meaning of those words.

 After a moment's thought, Misaka Mikoto and Makise Kurisu also came to a conclusion.

 Mahiro Oyama sensed something was very wrong, but couldn't figure out why, so he asked Hachiman Hikigaya:

 "Why... do you say that?"

 Hachiman Hikigaya spoke, unleashing a deadly verbal bullet that struck Kazuma Sato squarely.

 "He wanted to draw a conclusion from our three uses that all the legends the boys obtained were [Infinite Restraint], but this conclusion is obviously invalid, at least not for Kazuma himself!"

 "Do not!!!"

 Kazuma Sato collapsed to the ground, as desperate as a criminal suspect in Beika City when exposed, muttering:

 "It's not like that, it's not like that."

 "It's okay, brother."

 Kitahara Iori stepped forward and patted Sato Kazuma on the shoulder with a look of sympathy, while Imamura Kohei quietly bent down and picked up the [Replica Book of Heroic Spirits].

 Kazuma Sato had teary eyes:

 "Kitahara! You truly are my good brother!"

 "nonsense!"

 Kitahara Iori smiled, took the book from Imamura Kohei's hand, and handed it to Sato Kazuma:

 "Come on, bro, it's your turn to take the test."

 "Eh?"

 Kazuma Sato's face instantly went blank.

 Kyon: "Ah, I really didn't expect Kazuma to have this trick up his sleeve."

 Houtarou Oreki: "Good natural guidance"

 [Ruri Gokou: "He was actually hiding his legend."]

 [Kyoko Kirigiri: "It's mainly because of the information gap. I didn't realize it at first, but the moment he handed the book to the girl, I understood."]

 [L: "He's very quick-witted, but his morals are limitless when it comes to action. It's just fortunate that he didn't go astray, otherwise it would have been a disaster."]

 Conan: "Did he really not go astray? Then let me ask you."

 [The Holy Lord: "A god-like being, long ago distanced himself from humanity."]

 [Tadakuni: "Just like that, Hachiman Hikigaya was able to find Kazuma Sato. He's unbeatable."]

 [Yukino Yukinoshita: "Hahaha, they're so funny!"]

 [Carl: "This is what people who often spend time alone, observing the outside world, are like."]

 [Empty: "Agree"]

 [Hiratsuka Shizuka: "But such students rarely truly understand themselves; they always think they are clear-headed, but they are actually deceiving themselves..."]

 [Hiratsuka Shizuka: "It's really a good thing that I was able to get into this game for Hikigaya Hachiman. He has partners he can truly trust to rely on, and he's made it through. (Relieved)"]

 [The Cave King: "This is the real treasure."]

 Under the oppressive power of the crowd.

 Kazuma Sato's desperate resistance was futile, and he was ultimately forced to use the [Replica Boundary Recording Tape].

 [Player record testing in progress...]

 [Detection revealed that the player currently possesses their own personal [Legend], which can be upgraded to a Heroic Spirit. Confirm?]

 Kazuma Sato, supported by the shirtless Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei, began to speak:

 Are we still brothers?

 "Do not talk nonsense!"

 "hurry up!"

 Sato Kazuma gritted his teeth, determined to avenge this humiliation; he'd made a mental note of it!

 "Damn it, confirmed!"

 His character portrait appears on the image.

 Surprisingly, two legendary icons appeared next to it!

 Apart from the [Unlimited Condolences] that everyone has.

 There's even a legend about Kazuma Sato!

 Everyone gathered around to take a look:

 [Player Legend: [Bird Master (D+)]]

 [Legendary Rating: Two Stars]

 [Can be converted into: Replica Costume/Unique Skill]

 [Introduction: "According to Fuyuki no Shi, among the eight great immortals, there is actually another one called the 'Bird Immortal.' Everyone thought he only liked to play pranks and bring joy to people, but later they discovered that those who had contact with this immortal would become very lucky for a period of time."]

 "But Master Bird only appeared once, and most people thought it was just a matter of probability or a publicity stunt. Only those who actually experienced it, who were kicked by Master Bird and were lucky enough to be kicked, firmly believed in the legend and even enshrined a statue of Master Bird in their homes."

 "After that, the descendants of these people discovered that the statue of the 'Little Bird Sage' had indeed been protecting them all along, so they inherited it as a family tradition. The image of the statue has changed over time, but only his sacred 'little bird' has remained unchanged."

 "Hahahaha!"

 Kitahara Iori and Imamura Kohei burst into laughter upon seeing the various wooden statues of Sato Kazuma, as well as the strikingly similar little bird on the lower half of the wooden statue. They rolled on the ground and pounded the ground with their fists.

 "Hahahahaha!"

 "Oh my god, the little bird fairy!"

 "I'm dying of laughter, holy crap."

 Hachiman Hikigaya gave Kazuma Sato a thumbs up:

 "Little Bird Sage? You really are that person, hahaha!"

 "Bull Demon's!"

 Kazuma Sato, filled with grief and rage, threw a punch at Hachiman Hikigaya:

 "We can't be brothers anymore! Today we'll fight to the death!"

 "Ouch!"

 Hachiman Hikigaya was instantly punched and got a black eye. The black eye and the dead fish eye together turned into... a cat-fish eye, which looked extremely comical.

 "Damn it, you tricked me first!"

 "Damn it! Born!"

 "Go to hell, you European dog!"

 The two exchanged punches, and in the end, they were both bruised and swollen.

 Finally, it was only after the others finished laughing that they pulled the two of them back.

 Mahiro Oyama picked up the Book of Heroic Spirits from the ground, dusted it off, blinked, and exclaimed:

 "Wow, this [Little Bird Sage] is pretty effective."

 Ryuguin Seiya raised an eyebrow:

 "Hmm, should I send it to the group chat?"

 Mahiro Oyama shared the panel in the group:

 【Unique Skill: 【Bird Sage (D+)】】

 【Effect 1: 【Fortune Fairy (C)】, friendly units with Luck below C rank gain a major rank in Luck; if the user's Luck is below C, it is raised to C; if it is above C, it is raised a minor rank.】

 【Effect 2: 【Disaster Relief (D+)】, reduces the chance of friendly units encountering invincible units; when encountering invincible units, all friendly units gain 【Luck Bonus】 for their actions.

 [Live Stream Room.]

 Cú Chulainn: "?"

 [Cú Chulainn: "This...this can give teammates a C-rank luck buff?!"]

 [Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Could this be... a lucky charm?"]

 [Empty: "It may seem useless, but its functionality is truly outstanding."]

 Kyon: "Is it possible that Kazuma's luck itself has this effect, and that this Noble Phantasm is actually... a weakened version?"

 [Erise Utsumi: "Haha"]

 Valkyrie: "That's impressive."

 [Brynhildr: "Once I get the Noble Phantasm effect, I'll go and stab Sajyou Ayaka with one spear."]

 [Sajō Aika: "Haha"]

 [Old Sword: "Good idea"]

 Mandricardo: "Those guys up there, they're all Lancers who had the worst luck, right?"

 Zhao Yun: "Is Lancer unlucky? I don't think so."

 On the familiar Fuyuki Bridge.

 The twelve players looked up at the empty high-rise building opposite them and simultaneously raised their middle fingers.
